Christine Cerniglia - Thanks for sharring Amanda! It’s always inspiring to see how much you’re able to take one, as it’s a good motivator for me to be more produtive. I too get excited at the beginning of the fall semester and am looking forward to teaching essentials again (after a break this summer). I love inspiring w new group of students and introducing them to graphic design. :)
